Not to beat a dead horse, but the OKC Thunder won’t be whiffing at the top end of the draft board for players like Jaxson Hayes nor should they be looking to trade away existing assets to land him. Still, this is a prospect who could have a long tenure in the NBA and one worth devoting some time to examining.
Outside of Zion Williamson, the one big at the top of the board garnering the most interest is Jaxson Hayes. He’s a true center with athleticism coming from his days of playing both basketball and as a wide receiver in football.
